Speaking about the visit, Owen Jones, co-founder of Stop Trump Coalition, said: ‘Donald Trump is so cowardly he thinks he can sneak into the country to avoid protests.

‘We have to prove him wrong. We’re asking Britain to be on standby to take to the streets with just hours notice if necessary.

‘Let’s not allow the arrival of a misogynist, a racist, a bigot, and a threat to peace be unchallenged. Let’s take to the street in great number – and do ourselves proud by showing that Britain rejects his hatred.’

It was speculated that the Trump visit may be cancelled after it was not mentioned in the Queen’s Speech but the government has since said this is not the case.
